Off Topic / Re: can you crack my code?
« on: February 17, 2015, 03:41:47 PM »if you divide the numbers in the first row, you get a binary messages which says UPhttp://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=3.0%2F1.1%2F2.7
that's all i know so far
?????????????????????????
two repeated numbers:
3.0/1.1/2.7
100.75/10.5/21.1
3.1/20.2/1.0/121.11
13.1/100.75
0.3/75.5/2.2/10.5
my guess is that it's simpler than a cryptogram, and that the ciphertext consists of 5 words of the form
ABC DEF GHIJ KD LMNE
but i can't get any farther than that without discovering the substitution algorithm (if there is one)

Modification Help / Re: Motorized Armchair Vehicle
« on: April 19, 2014, 02:14:40 PM »The vehicle won't come up as a mod when I go to start up a server,
Help?
Code: [Select]
CustomGameGui checking Add-On: Vehicle_ArmChair/Vehicle_ArmChair
nested add-on - will not execute
until this is fixed you can take the folder out of the zip and put it in your add-ons folder and it'll work did anyone actually download this add-on
edit:
messed-up shadows can be witnessed both with shaders on and without
compare the shading on the ramps with the shading on the chair
backfaces appear to be on as seen from the inside
likely caused by messed-up normals when exporting
if you're using blender, disable backfaces and check the normals to make sure they face outwards, flipping any which don't match

Brian sighed, stretching his body across his desk. "Electro: Last online 2 hours ago." How long was he going to stay angry over that forum post? Fine, so it wasn't funny. It was just a stupid story. He didn't see what the big deal was. Why was Electro angry in the first place? He always got upset about the stupidest things. He used to refuse to talk to Brian for days when Brian called him a cigarette. Of course, that was before they were together. They'd had fights like this before, but they'd always forget about it eventually. The make-up love was amazing. Thinking that made him chuckle. From now on, he'd try not to push Electro so much. What they had was special, and Brian needed to make sure to preserve that.
A flash of blue caught his eye at the edge of his vision. "Electro is now Online." He scrambled to open a chat window and apologize, but found that one was already open. There was one message in it.
"Electro: We're breaking up."

Forum Games / Re: Mafia - The forum game! Let the post-game brown townysis commence!
« on: August 20, 2013, 07:33:32 PM »So when will the next round start?
I don't want to run too many games in too short a time span, because they can wear me out, and I want to figure out how I can make the next game even better! A good bit of preparation and inspiration works wonders for a game! I'll probably start a new thread when I want to start a new game, 'cus that's how it usually works and it lets each game be nice and organized into its own thread.
BUT
It's not too complicated to run! If any of you want to try out a certain type of game or don't want to wait for me to make the next one, take initiative! Only took me a day to prepare because I worked slow. We could get a whole bunch of games going, of all different types. I know some of you have ideas. Just try to organize with each other so you don't get too much overlap if more than one of you's gonna start a game.
I'll try to get another game out, but I have a little bit of RL stuff, so it may take a bit. GL!

forgot to add:
Maybe the fast pace is good, though! We ran a very quick game and I certainly had fun. Need to know. What do you think the rules should be for next game?

Okay, post-game brown townysis.
My opinion on this game went through several phases. At first, I thought it was going to turn out to be a very interesting game. Then, I thought it had been somewhat crippled by bad rules planning, or too-swift voting. Then, I thought it was a genius stroke by the innocents and a brilliant collaboration. Then, I was forced to regress to thinking it was too-swift voting.
While many of you seem to be familiar with the game, I think that this actually worked against you a bit, because Mafia can be a very different beast depending on minor changes to some very specific rules.
Specifically, the Hammer Rule.
In a game without the Hammer Rule, people vote more or less willy-nilly. There's a lot of back-and-forth, random voting, etc. Game usually starts with day, and votes form into big bandwagons, which people later brown townyze to try to form more bandwagons on people who try to bandwagon. It's a whole mess, and it's very fun, while often not requiring a whole lot of commitment for games that can go on a while.
But with the Hammer Rule...
Well, let me put it this way. Let's imagine childofdarkness had voted any other person besides Gojira. Let's suppose he voted Charles.
Now let's suppose Gojira and Resonte were both watching the thread closely at that time...
Gojira votes Charles. Resonte votes Charles. Three votes on Charles. 50%.
Charles dies.
That day was MILO. (4 innos, 2 mafia.) Mislynch and lose.
Now there's 3 innos left, 2 mafia. Mafia kills a player. Mafia wins.
Yeah.
A single random vote, misplaced on that day, could end the game. That's what the Hammer Rule means.
So in a game with the Hammer Rule, people don't vote. They think. They use Finger of Suspicion or something like that to indicate people they're suspicious of, and they debate a lot about who they're suspicious of, and they only vote when they mean to kill someone.
This makes the game a big festival of logic, a grand game of persuasion, etc, while still allowing people to end days quickly if there's no question as to what people want. Games usually start with night so that players can draw conclusions based on how the night went, rather than having to vote randomly. It's a very different style of game. Some places it works well, other places it's much better to forego the hammer rule and get a better game.
So, yeah. Idunno. Maybe next game, we should remove the hammer rule and the no-edit rule and go for a good, long game with lots of voting. Or maybe now that we're familiar with the hammer rule, we can run hammer-rule games with a bit more safety.
Most importantly, though, we learned that there's a lot of interest for this! So, next time, we could maybe do a 12-player or 16-player game and get a bunch of power-roles (roles with special abilities) and less LYLO/MILO. That oughta be great. Watch out for it.

« on: August 19, 2013, 07:17:10 PM »
Two days. Two murders. Two lynchings.
But now it's over.
The Resonte! was lynched. He was the Mafia.
GAME OVER!
THE INNOCENTS HAVE WON!
Players:
Cybertails1998 - Innocent, died Night 2
CharlesSpeaking - Cop
childofdarkness016 - Innocent
The Resonte! - Mafia, died Day 2
Gojira - Mafia, died Day 1
Cuddles le Bear - Innocent
Kingdaro - Doctor, died Night 1
This was an interesting game! I have a lot of stuff to say about it, which I'll post soon in a post-game brown townysis. In the meantime, I'd like to hear what you thought, particularly about the game, how it was run, and possible changes to the rules!

"Here was a man who did a lot for this city. But, like many, he was remembered not for what he did, but for what he didn't do." is what the preacher would have said.
But the preacher left town.
Cybertails1998 is dead. He was an Innocent.

Due to the hammer rule, the day ends when a 50% majority is reached, which was reached with the 3 votes on Gojira. Night will occur as soon as I get the post ready.

Really fast day, hang on a sec while I post the night. Also
I'm kinda mad, but I thiiink I'll let it slide just this once because I saw the post before it was edited, and mostly you're all new so it makes sense that you would mess up. Please don't do this again, guys. If you have a minor edit to make to your post, post again.
Doodlin time~
